Run, Don't Walk to Big Lots! $1.00 Polish Scores!

Big Lots you say? Yes, that right! My Big Lots is not the best in the chain, especially when it comes to their Health & Beauty section. There is little order to it, and I seldom find anything of real interest. However, yesterday Steph's Closet tweeted about something she found there that made her very happy, so I tweeted back that I was going to check it out. Into the maze that is my Big Lots I went this morning, first picking up some other things I needed, just taking my time getting over to the Health & Beauty section because honestly, I wasn't holding out much hope of finding anything, much less the Holy Grail that she found. I arrived at my cluttered destination seeing what appeared to be the same products I always see there. But wait...what are those beat up cardboard boxes on the bottom shelf hidden behind the cotton balls? Could it be? As I pushed the cotton balls aside, the skies parted and music began to play from the heavens above. I stifled a scream as I lifted it up to have a closer look. Yes. Sally Hansen's fabled Emerald Ring for $1.00.

Above & Below: After my heart stopped racing, I sat down in the aisle to see what other treasures those cotton balls were hiding, and here's what I ended up with, all for $1.00 each.

Below: As long as I was having so much fun, I also picked up another Revlon Dark Pleasures I hadn't seen before, Scarlet Letter. The Borghese is called Capri Coral, and the Palmer's Cocoa Butter sticks are a staple item that usually cost me the same price for one at Walgreen's what I paid for three at Big Lots.

The moral of the story? Just because a store never has anything exciting in regard to hard-to-find polishes, doesn't mean that one fine day, that could change! Thanks to Steph for the tip!

How wonderful for you! A good reward for all those other times when you found nothing. I prefer the old bottles of Sally Hansen. I haven't been to a Big Lots in years. I don't even know where one is. Guess there will be more swatching going on!

Great finds! I'm liking the shimmers so I'll check out my Big Lots. I got a 2 pack Sally Hansen duochrome this weekend for $1! My greatest find would have to be Sally's Beauty Supply. They were giving 50% off on top of red tag items and China Glaze, Orly, Fingerpaints and Nina Ultra Pro polishes came out to $0.99 to $1.49 each!

All~I've fallen behind in answering the comments, I'm sorry! I sure wish there would've been more than the one, I would've picked up as many as I could for giveaways! Good luck to everyone hunting them down!!!
